I have an old Blackberry (the GF calls it a Crackberry). It's very useful and I only pay an extra $35 a month over my regular cell service for unlimited data. It's already paid for itself and I've only had it for a couple months. But I'm looking ahead to the Curve. I really miss the multimedia features of the previous phone and I would like to have them back. I can easily see how the BB could make a dent in this market.
I played with the Pearl this weekend and a Curve and the Pearl seemed to guess most of the words without a problem, but I really like the full QWERTY keyboard, just because I have full control.


Do any of you have any experience with the Curve on Verizon? Do you have any comments on other carriers? Any comments in general?

I got a Pearl and so far I'm happy with it. I did have to make a couple downloads for instance Empower's Mail Viewer option so I can see html email correctly. I also downloaded GridMagic to be able to see excel attachments and xPlayer for multimedia viewing. Now I can go to You tube and other video sites and actually watch the videos on my phone without having to pay for verizon's video service. I also downloaded Opera Web browser but unlike enpowers email viewer it doesn't replace blackberry's browser so I find my self having to launch it and copying and pasting urls when a site doesn't render correctly in Blackberry's browser. Neither Browser is perfect so I just endup switching between them. The keyboard size it is a bit of an issue but not as bad as I originally though. My .02
